Anyone interested is asked to get in touch with +Jane (photina61@gmail.com) by March 1, prior to our next team meeting. Faith
Enrichment Session
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently”, is the recommendation of the psalmist. “Stillness and waiting”? we might ask. “Are you sure about that?” And yet, these are the two virtues we are proposing to our MMICC members during this Faith Enrichment Session, because we know these two principles are essential for quieting our minds and pace if we wish to meet and hear what the Spirit is saying to us today. Our Lenten season is the appropriate time to practice stillness and waiting in order to create the space for this encounter. On Saturday we will invite you to set aside an hour of your time for a period of song, prayer, reflection and contemplation. We will be offering a guided visualization and invite everyone to bring their journal, or sheet of paper and writing instrument to help with the process. We hope you will enjoy this time of coming together as a community of faith to connect with each other and with our God-de. The program will be available on the Bulletin Board a day or so before the session. Hope
to see you there!
PS:
of course there will also be Break-Out Rooms!!

Learning How to See Podcast with Brian McLaren - Season 4
Whether you stay Christian or not, you have to wake up the next morning and decide what kind of human to be. —Brian McLaren In the new season of Learning How to See, host Brian McLaren invites listeners to dive deep into “how” we stay Christian after going through a period of introspection and doubt. Joined this season by CAC friends Barbara Brown Taylor and Rev. Jacqui Lewis, Brian invites listeners to explore the guideposts on our faith journey that keep us honest, open, and more fully human during troubled times. How do we transform and transcend our biases? From unconscious judgments to complacency in systemic evil, we must learn how to see if we are to learn how to transform. In the podcast Learning How to See, author, public theologian, and former evangelical pastor Brian McLaren helps listeners discover how seeing is social, political, and contemplative.
